*~*~* Rotherham v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[The King of Um]

Quite enjoyed slipping into a medically-induced coma for much of that.

 

[LondonMackem]

Happy holidays everyone Will Still who?

 

[Durham-Mackem41]

KLD is delighted with sustainable mid table championship does not have to spend anything has a passing interest.

We are miles off it and if Beale is the answer what was the bloody question awful!

 

[forever changes]

Beale

This ^ why just why ???

 

[Shineytom]

Best display of walking football I’ve seen.

 

[sun gets in my eyes]

Dreadful. I was going to give him a few weeks before deciding if Beale is crap or not but it's only taken 3 games.

 

[flusheding]

No urgency until the last 15 minutes, and then it was the same move every time. Get it to Clarke and have him run into a packed area, hit a dead end and out.

They were doubling up on Clarke every time as well. As vital as he is for us, he needs to learn to pass the ball earlier/quicker in those situations as they rarely come off when he tries to take on 2 players in a confined area

 

[Sarcoid Kid]

Utter crap against bottom of the league side. Burstow and Ba are not footballer's, if we can see it, why can't management.
We've better on the bench, speaking of which, where's Chris Rigg?

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Poor apart from a 15 minute spell.

1 win, 1 draw, 1 defeat for Beale, playing worse imo

I'm an optimist and can't fathom this managment change at all, is he really an improvement?. he's made the footy worse and not improved things.

fuck it, going back to my uke

 

[Bruce out]

Awful that like,

Spoilt my weekend. Cheers Beale

 

[SunderLad92]

Tell you what can tell how shit Ba is we have to compliment him for doing 2 runs and a simple pass must of been that step over.

Most he's done in about 4 games.

 

[Chewit]

We struggle against any team with physicality. Weak as piss allover the pitch .

Agreed but we took a battering today without much protection from ref. That Eaves should have been off for the elbow on ONein

 

[Hugh Gains]

Another thriller with Preston on NYD, we’ll struggle to create again.

 

[BarrySheensAutograph]

He’s absolutely shite

He did OK today

 

[Get Into Em]

Your lens is different to most fans. Most fans think success for Sunderland is actually being a good football club in the premier league.
You think success is slightly better return on capital than average. That’s not sport - that’s finance. Go support JP Morgan whilst the rest of us have some ambition for the club.

I think success to Sunderland is being competitive at the highest level, aye. When have I said differently? Point it out to me marra.

What has Speakman's job performance got to do with investment from the owner? Explain what he has to do with that, please?

All I've done is say Speakman has done a brilliant job, especially in contrast to his budget restraints which obviously (to most people, atleast) aren't set by Speakman himself. Surely you know that?

 

[s1black2000]

Most knew what was coming and are being proven right.

How long before the owner and speakman admit their fuck up and apologise !!

 

[Tonysafc]

Load of wank

 

[The Cookie Monster]

Unacceptable performance that. Absolutely shite. KLD and Satori need to fuck off along with Speakman, Beale, Dodds and Procter. Clear out needed.

 

[Ale taster]

The masters of pointless possession with the cutting edge of a ripe cucumber.
Crap that.

 

[Deleted member 7993]

Surely if you pick up points when playing badly that's a good thing ?

Yep Rotherham will be happy with that
